Accounting Policies of G G Automotive Gears Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2025

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

(a) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes purchase price (net of trade
discount and rebates) and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its
working condition for its intended use and for qualifying assets, borrowing costs
capitalized in accordance with the Ind AS 23. Capital work in progress is stated at cost, net
of accumulated impairment loss, if any. When significant parts of plant and equipment
are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately
based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost

is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the
recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in
the statement of profit and loss as incurred. Depreciation commences when an asset is
ready for its intended use. Freehold land and assets held for sale are not depreciated.
Regulated Assets: Depreciation on Property, plant and equipments in respect of electricity
business of the Company covered under Part B of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013,
has been provided on the straight-line method at the rates using the methodology as
notified by the regulator. Non-Regulated Assets: Depreciation is recognized on the cost of
assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual
values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the
end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on
a prospective basis. The Company, based on technical assessment made by technical
expert and management estimate, depreciates certain items of building, plant and
equipment over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these estimated
useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets
are likely to be used.

Decapitalization

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no
future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any
gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and
equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

(b) Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost
less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful life for intangible assets is 3 years. The estimated useful and
amortization method are reviewed at each reporting period, with the effect of any
changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at
cost less accumulated impairment loss.

(c) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

The carrying amounts of the Company''s property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication
that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If there are indicators of impairment,
an assessment is made to determine whether the asset''s carrying value exceeds its
recoverable amount. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an
individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating
unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognized in statement of profit and loss whenever the carrying
amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In
assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to the present
value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the assets for which the estimates of future cash
flows have not been adjusted.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or
cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so
that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash
generating unit) in prior years. Reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately
in profit or loss.

(d) Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Revenue is reduced for estimated returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Revenues

consist of sale of locomotive and industrial application gears & pinions, gearboxes and
forged automotive components. The Company recognizes revenues on the sale of
products, net of discounts, sales incentives, customer bonuses and rebates granted,
when products are delivered to dealers which is when control including risks and rewards
and title of ownership passed to the customer.

Income from rendering other operating services are recognized as the services
performed. Revenue is recognized when it is earned and it is probable that economic
benefit will flow to the Company. Interest income from a financial asset is recognized
when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount
of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is recorded using the applicable
Effective Interest Rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash
receipts over the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on
initial recognition.

(e) Foreign currencies

The Company''s financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the Company''s
functional currency.

(i) All transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the rates of the exchange
prevailing on the dates when the relevant transactions took place; any gain/ loss on
account of the fluctuations in the rate of exchange is recognized in the statement of Profit
and Loss.

(ii) Monetary items in the form of loans, current assets and current liabilities in foreign
currencies at the close of the year are converted in the Indian currency at the appropriate
rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of the Balance Sheet. Resultant gain or loss on
account of fluctuation in the rate of exchange is recognized in the statement of Profit and
Loss.

(iii) In respect of the Forward Exchange Contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency
risks, the difference between the Forward Rate and Exchange Rate at the inception of the
contract is recognized as income or expense.

(f) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of
qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to
get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such

time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use of sale. All other
borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their
expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for
capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in
which they are incurred.

(g) Employee benefits

(h) Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense
when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. For defined
benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the
projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of
each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses,
the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets
(excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or
credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re¬
measurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in
retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in
profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the
discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:

• service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses
on curtailments and settlements);

• net interest expense or income;

• remeasurement

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in
the line item ''Employee benefits expense.'' Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for
as past service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the actual
deficit or surplus in the Company''s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this
calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form
of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the entity can no
longer withdraw the offer of termination benefit and when the entity recognizes any
related restructuring costs.

(i) Short-term and other long-term employee benefits

A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and
salaries and annual leave in the period the related service is rendered at the
undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the
undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related
service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at
the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the
Company in respect of services provided by employees'' up to the reporting date.

(ii) Contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans

Discretionary contributions made by employees or third parties reduce service cost upon
payment of these contributions to the plan. When the formal terms of the plans specify
that there will be contributions from employees or third parties, the accounting depends
on whether the contributions are linked to service, as follows:

• If the contributions are not linked to services (e.g. contributions are required to reduce a
deficit arising from losses on plan assets or from actuarial losses), they are reflected in the
remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability (asset).

• If contributions are linked to services, they reduce service costs. For the amount of
contribution that is dependent on the number of years of service, the Company reduces
service cost by attributing the contributions to periods of service using the attribution
method required by Ind AS 19.70 for the gross benefits. For the amount of contribution that
is independent of the number of years of service, the Company reduces service cost in the
period in which the related service is rendered/reduces service cost by attributing
contributions to the employees'' periods of service in accordance with Ind AS 1970.

(i) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

(i) Current tax

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable in respect of taxable profit for a period.
Current tax for current period is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or
recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Management periodically
evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable
tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in
the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all
taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all
deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will
be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises
from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the
taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting
period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits
will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates
(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that
would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting
period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

(iii) Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items
that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the
current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for

a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business
combination.

(j) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on
a weighted average basis and includes all applicable overheads in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less
estimated costs to make the sale.

The basis of determination of cost remains as follows:

• Raw material, packing material: Moving weighted average cost.

• Stores & stores: Moving Weighted average cost.

• Work-in-progress: Cost of input plus overhead up to the stage of completion.

• Finished Goods: Cost of input plus appropriate overhead.

• Scrap: at net realizable value.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

a) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes purchase price (net of trade discount and rebates) and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Ind AS 23.

Capital work in progress is stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment loss, if any. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss as incurred. Depreciation commences when an asset is ready for its intended use. Freehold land and assets held for sale are not depreciated. Regulated Assets: Depreciation on Property, plant and equipments in respect of electricity business of the Company covered under Part B of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, has been provided on the straight-line method at the rates using the methodology as notified by the regulator. Non-Regulated Assets: Depreciation is recognized on the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The Company, based on technical assessment made by technical expert and management estimate, depreciates certain items of building, plant and equipments over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

Estimated useful lives of the Regulated and Non-Regulated assets are as follows:

Particulars

Useful life (in years)

Building

30

Plant & machinery

15

Electrical Installation

Decapitalization

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipments is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

b) Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful life for intangible assets is 3 years. The estimated useful and amortization method are reviewed at each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

c) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

The carrying amounts of the Company''s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If there are indicators of impairment, an assessment is made to determine whether the asset''s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognized in statement of profit and loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to the present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the assets for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. Reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

d) Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Revenues consist of sale of locomotive and industrial application gears & pinions, gearboxes and forged automotive components. The Company recognizes revenues on the sale of products, net of discounts, sales incentives, customer bonuses and rebates granted, when products are delivered to dealers which is when control including risks and rewards and title of ownership passed to the customer.

Income from rendering other operating services are recognized as the services performed. Revenue is recognized when it is earned and it is probable that economic benefit will flow to the Company. Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is recorded using the applicable Effective Interest Rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

e) Foreign Currencies

The Company''s financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the Company''s functional currency.

(i) All transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the rates of the exchange prevailing on the dates when the relevant transactions took place; any gain/ loss on account of the fluctuations in the rate of exchange is recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss.

(ii) Monetary items in the form of loans, current assets and current liabilities in foreign currencies at the close of the year are converted in the Indian currency at the appropriate rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of the Balance Sheet. Resultant gain or loss on account of fluctuation in the rate of exchange is recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss.

(iii) In respect of the Forward Exchange Contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risks, the difference between the Forward Rate and Exchange Rate at the inception of the contract is recognized as income or expense.

f) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use of sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

g) Employee Benefits

h) Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:

• service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);

• net interest expense or income;

• re-measurement

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item ''Employee benefits expense.'' Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company''s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefitis recognized at the earlierof when the entity can nolonger withdraw the offer of termination benefitand when the entity recognizes any related restructuring costs.

i) Short-term and other long-term employee benefits

A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries and annual leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees'' upto the reporting date.

ii) Contributions from employeesor third parties to defined benefit plans

Discretionary contributions made by employees or third parties reduce service cost upon payment of these contributions to the plan. When the formal terms of the plans specify that there will be contributions from employees or third parties, the accounting depends on whether the contributions are linked to service, as follows:

• If the contributions are not linked to services (e.g. contributions are required to reduce a deficit arising from losses on plan assets or from actuarial losses), they are reflected in the remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability (asset).

• If contributions are linked to services, they reduce service costs. For the amount of contribution that is dependent on the number of years of service, the Company reduces service cost by attributing the contributions to periods of service using the attribution method required by Ind AS 19.70 for the gross benefits. For the amount of contribution that is independent of the number of years of service, the Company reduces service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered/reduces service cost by attributing contributions to the employees'' periods of service in accordance with Ind AS 1970.

i) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

i) Current tax

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable in respect of taxable profit for a period. Current tax for current period is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

iii) Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

j) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all applicable overheads in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to make the sale.

The basis of determination of cost remains as follows:

• Raw material, packing material: Moving weighted average cost.

• Stores & stores: Moving Weighted average cost.

• Work-in-progress: Cost of input plus overhead up to the stage of completion.

• Finished Goods: Cost of input plus appropriate overhead.

• Scrap: at net realizable value.

k) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The Company recognizes provisions when a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event exists and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle such obligation and the amount of such obligation can be reliably estimated.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flow estimated to settle the present obligation, it carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that the outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation.

A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements; however, they are disclosed where the inflow of economicbenefits is probable.When the realization of income is virtuallycertain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset and is recognized as an asset.

Present obligations arising under onerouscontracts are recognized and measured as provisions. An onerous contractis considered to exist where the Companyhas a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits to be received from the contracts.

l) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

i) Initial recognition

assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directlyattributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (otherthan financial assetsand financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

ii) Financial assets

(I) Classification of financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: amortized cost, financial assets ''at fair value through profit and loss'' (FVTPL), ''Fair value through other comprehensive income'' (FVTOCI). The classification depends on the Company''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of cash flows.

(II) Subsequent measurement

- Debt Instrument - amortized cost

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost: (a) if the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows

and (b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

- Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

A ''debt instrument'' is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:

(a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets.

(b) The asset''s contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from the equity to statement of profit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the effective interest rate method.

- Fair value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL):

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. In addition, the Company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is considered only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ''accounting mismatch''). Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

(in) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financialasset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removedfrom the Company''sstatement of financialposition) when^The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or^ The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from theasset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ''pass-through'' arrangement- and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

(IV) Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimating future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premium or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss and is included in the "Other income" line item.

(v) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model to the following:

• Financial assets measured at amortized cost;

• Financialassets measured at fairvaluethroughothercomprehensive income (FVTOCI)Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:

• the 12-month expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those defaultevents on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or

• full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument). The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:

• Trade receivables or contract revenuereceivables;

• All lease receivables Under the simplified approach, the Company does not track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forwardlooking estimates are analyzed.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the Company reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.

For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.

iii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

(l) Classification of debt or equity

Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

-Equity instruments:

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Company''s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company''s own equity instruments.

(II) Subsequent measurement

-Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost:

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognized in statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fee or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

-Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL): Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied.

(III) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

(IV) Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments such as debts and certain investments, at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

- In the principal market for the asset or liability or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

- Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

- Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

- Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the balance sheet on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above

m) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short- term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

n) Leases

Company as a lessee

The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset

ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and

iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) assetand a corresponding lease liability for all leasearrangements in whichit is a lessee,except for leaseswith a term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low-value leases,the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operatingexpense on a straight-line basis over the term of thelease. The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives.

They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value- in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Company as a lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a financeor operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

For operating leases, rentalincome is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

o) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed and disclosed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share is computed and disclosed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive equity equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except when the results are anti-dilutive.

3. Key accounting judgements and estimates

The preparation of the Company''s financial statements requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below:

i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.

ii) Defined benefit obligation

The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with IND AS 19 ''Employee benefits'' over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees'' services. The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates.

iii) Allowance for uncollectible trade receivables

Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their nominal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. Estimated irrecoverable amounts are based on the ageing of the receivable balances and historical experience. Additionally, a large number of minor receivables is grouped into homogeneous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not to be collectible.

iv) Allowance for credit losses on receivables and unbilled revenue

The Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Company considered current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Company deals with and the countries where it operates. In calculating expected credit loss, the Company has also considered credit reports and other related credit information for its customers to estimate the probability of default in future and has taken into account estimates of possible effect from the pandemic relating to COVID-19.
